Stash Separation

In the past few years, I've begun to sense a theme for October, and that theme is crazy. This year, though, it turned out to be extra crazy. I know I still owe the blog one last Scotland post, and there are a couple more finished objects to share with you before we launch into holiday knitting. The reason this year has been extra crazy is partially election season, but mostly it's been crazy because Mr. Starryknit and I are moving into a new (larger! with a deck!) apartment. Plus, the way the timing worked out I'll be going to Mitten School one week before our move. For those of you playing along at home, that means that we move in about eight days and I'll be spending four of them out of town. All of our stuff is in boxes, and I'm separated from my stash. The yarn and fiber are all in large plastic bins with lavender sachets or bags of cedar chips, the pattern books are all in boxes. The fabric stash is still a weak underdeveloped thing compared to its yarn and fiber siblings, so it all fit into one small box. The sewing machine is sitting in its dust cover in the closet. I managed to have enough foresight to pull out yarn for three new projects in the meantime, in case it takes a long time to get everything settled. The criteria for these projects were:

1. Variety: Different yarn weights (one sock, one lace, and one aran), different colors, different objects, different difficulty levels. When I'm finished with the current work-in-progress, I wanted to have some choices so hopefully something would be appealing enough to appease the need to stash-dive.

2. A mix of direction and spontaneity: two of the projects have yarn already matched to patterns, while the third one has only a a vague constraint (it must be fingerless mitts). If I just need something to knit, I can pick up and start the sock right away. If I want to use a little creativity or I just want an excuse to surf Ravelry, I can take time to search for the perfect mitt pattern.

3. Portable: These projects need to be easy to carry, and hard to lose in the move. They definitely need to fit in small project bags. The mitered square blanket that takes up an entire jumbo-sized tote bag is right out.

I spent an hour or two picking out these projects, then declared everything else fair game for packing up. Then, while packing for my flight to Kansas this evening, I realized the my current project probably won't last me through the entire plane trip and grabbed the skein of yarn and realized:

Girls like to have a handbag they are using it when they are traveling or attending to a party etc. Their handbag is prone to a snachers, holdapers, Theif. They are investing for handbag insurance for the important things that is in the bag.
